Best we can give as an ETA in Brownsville is the first week in January!
Was a boiler man 3 main machinery room from 1965 to 1968 found out in a hurry no one gave a shit about you. Went to Vietnam 3 times aboard Constellation. Remember Lt Half was the best engineering officer ever.
Do you have a more definitive prediction for arrival in Brownsville? Thanks!
